O&G welcomes U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, the Obama administration's resident Nobel Prize winner, to the world of blogging. Chu has had a personal Facebook page for some time, but today he inaugurated the Energy Department's new blog. Ever the clean-energy evangelist, Chu wrote (at 5:54 a.m.!) on how his central priority was "driving innovation to create a new, clean energy economy that will spark job creation and reduce our dependence on oil, while cutting our greenhouse gas emissions." Not to be narrow, the Energy Department also inaugurated a Twitter account, to go with its already-existing YouTube, Flickr account, as well as a department-wide Facebook page.
